DERMAPLANING

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment. A trained esthetician uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz.

The result is skin that looks brighter, feels smooth, and lets makeup and skincare go on more evenly.

How Dermaplaning Works

Alyssa cleanses and preps your skin, then holds the skin taut and uses light, controlled strokes with the blade to lift away dead skin and fine hair. It is painless and most patients find it relaxing. The treatment is finished with hydrating products and sunscreen, and you can go right back to your day.

What to Expect

Dermaplaning has little to no downtime. Your skin may look slightly pink for a short time afterward. Use gentle skincare and wear sunscreen, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun. Dead skin builds back up over a few weeks, so many patients repeat dermaplaning about once a month. Contrary to a common myth, hair does not grow back thicker or darker.

Quick Guide: Is Dermaplaning Right for You?

  • You want instant smoothness with no downtime

  • Your makeup looks patchy or settles into texture

  • You have fine facial hair you would like removed

  • Active acne breakouts? Dermaplaning is not done over active breakouts. Ask about a chemical peel instead

  • Tell us about medications, including retinoids and acne prescriptions
